BACKGROUND ART

Axl (also known as: UFO, ARK, Tyrol) is a receptor tyrosine kinase belonging to a TAM family (Axl, Mer and Tyro3) cloned from tumor cells. Gas6 (growth-arrest-specific protein 6) cloned as a gene specifically expressed at the time of cell proliferation arrest is known as a ligand for Axl. Axl activated by binding of Gas6 transfers a signal via phosphorylation. Since the signal activates an Erk1/2 pathway or a PI3K/Akt pathway, the activation of Axl is known to be involved in pathologic conditions of cancers, immune system diseases, circulatory system diseases, and the like (see, Non-Patent Literature 1).

In particular, the relation between Axl and various types of cancers is well known. For example, it is known that the expression of Axl is involved in metastasis and prognosis of breast cancer (see, Non-Patent Literature 2), and that Axl is involved in the pathologic conditions of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (see Non-Patent Literature 3). Therefore, it is considered that compounds which inhibit the activation of Axl are useful for treatment of various type of cancers, immune system diseases, and circulatory system diseases.

Examples of parenteral agents include liquid medicines (for example, injection agents (subcutaneous injection agents, intravenous injection agents, intramuscular injection agents, intraperitoneal injection agents, and drip agents, and the like), eye drops (for example, aqueous eye drops (aqueous eye drops, aqueous eye drop suspensions, viscous eye drops, and solubilized eye drops, etc.), and nonaqueous eye drops (for example, nonaqueous eye drops and nonaqueous eye drop suspensions), and the like), agents for external use (for example, ointments (ophthalmic ointments, and the like)), and ear drops, and the like. These formulations may be controlled release agents such as rapid release formulations, sustained release formulations, and the like. These formulations can be produced by well-known methods, for example, by the methods described in The Japanese Pharmacopoeia.

Liquid medicines for internal use as the oral agent can be produced by, for example, dissolving or suspending an active ingredient in a generally used diluent (for example, purified water, ethanol, or mixture liquid thereof, or the like). The liquid medicine may include a wetting agent, a suspension agent, a sweetening agent, a flavoring material, an aromatic substance, a preservative, a buffer agent, and the like.

Solid medicines for internal use as the oral agent are formulated by, for example, mixing the active ingredient with, for example, a vehicle (for example, lactose, mannitol, glucose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, and the like), a binder (for example, hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, magnesium metasilicate aluminate, and the like), a disintegrant (for example, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and the like), a lubricant (for example, magnesium stearate, and the like), a stabilizer, a dissolution adjuvant (for example, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and the like), and the like, and formulating according to standard methods. As necessary, coating may be carried out with a coating agent (for example, sugar, gelatin, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate, and the like), and coating of two or more layers may be employed.

Agents for external use as parenteral agents are produced by well-known methods or generally used prescriptions. For example, an ointment may be produced by incorporation or melting of an active ingredient into base material. The ointment base material is selected from well-known material or generally used material. For example, a single material or a mixture of two or more of materials are selected from higher fatty acids and higher fatty acid esters (for example, adipic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, adipate esters, myristate esters, palmitate esters, stearate esters, oleate esters, and the like), waxes (for example, beeswax, spermaceti, ceresin, and the like), surfactants (for example, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether phosphate esters, and the like), higher alcohols (for example, cetanol, stearyl alcohol, etostearyl alcohol, and the like), silicone oils (for example, dimethylpolysiloxane, and the like), hydrocarbons (for example, hydrophilic petrolatum, white petrolatum, purified lanolin, liquid paraffin, and the like), glycols (for example, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, macrogol, and the like), plant oils (for example, castor oil, olive oil, sesame oil, turpentine oil, and the like), animal oils (for example, mink oil, egg yolk oil, squalane, squalene, and the like), water, absorption promoters, and anti-irritants. Furthermore, a humectant, preservative, stabilizer, antioxidant, fragrance, and the like, may be included.

The injection agents as parenteral agents include solutions, suspensions, emulsions and solid injection agents to be dissolved or suspended in a solvent before use. The injection agent is used by, for example, dissolving, suspending or emulsifying an active ingredient in a solvent. Examples of the solvent include distilled water for injection, physiological saline, vegetable oils, alcohols such as propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, ethanol, and mixtures thereof. Furthermore, the injection agent may contain a stabilizer, a dissolution aid (glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and Polysorbate 80 (registered trademark), etc.), a suspending agent, an emulsifying agent, a soothing agent, a buffer, a preservative, and the like. Such an injection agent is produced by sterilizing at the final step or employing an aseptic process. Furthermore, it is also possible to employ an aseptic solid product such as a freeze-dried product produced and sterilized or dissolved in aseptic distilled water for injection or other solvent before use.

When the compound of the present invention or combination agents of the compound of the present invention and other agents are used for the above-mentioned purposes, they are usually administered systemically or locally, usually by oral or parenteral administration. The doses to be administered are different depending upon ages, body weights, symptoms, therapeutic effects, administration method, treatment time, and the like. The doses per adult person are generally from 1 ng to 1000 mg per dose, once or several times per day, by oral administration, from 0.1 ng to 100 mg per dose, once or several times per day, by parenteral administration, or continuous administration 1 to 24 hours per day intravenously. Needless to say, as mentioned above, the doses to be used vary dependent upon various conditions. Therefore, doses lower than the ranges specified above may be sufficient in some cases, and doses higher than the ranges specified above are needed in some cases.

EXPERIMENT EXAMPLE

Biological Examples are described below. Based on these experiment methods, the effect of the compound of the present invention was verified.

Biological Example 1: Measurement of an Axl Inhibitory Activity (In Vitro Test)

An Axl enzyme inhibitory activity was measured by using LanthaScreen (registered trademark) system (Invitrogen) based on the attached instruction. The reagents used are shown below.

Reaction buffer solution: a solution containing 50 mmol/L HEPES (pH7.5), 0.01% Brij35, 10 mmol/L MgCl₂ and 1 mmol/L EGTA was prepared by using purified water.

Test substance solution: a solution containing a test compound of 5-fold concentration with respect to the final concentration was prepared by 20-fold diluting a DMSO solution of test compound of each concentration with the reaction buffer solution.

Enzyme solution: a solution containing 400 ng/mL Axl enzyme was prepared by using the reaction buffer solution.

Substrate solution: a solution containing 45 μmmol/L ATP and 500 nmmol/L Fluorescein-Poly GT (Invitrogen) was prepared by using the reaction buffer solution.

Detection solution: a solution containing 20 mM EDTA and 4 nM PY20 (Invitrogen) was prepared by using Dilution B (Invitrogen).

A 10 mmol/L DMSO solution of the test compound was dispensed into a 96-well plate (Nunc), and, furthermore, a 3-fold dilution series was prepared using DMSO. In each well of the 96-well plate for measurement, 5 μL each of the reaction buffer solution containing DMSO was added to a Blank group and a medium group, and 5 μL of the test substance solution was added to the test substance group, respectively. Next, 10 μL/well of the reaction buffer solution was added to the Blank group, and 10 μL/well each of the enzyme solution was added to the medium group and the test compound group, followed by stirring at room temperature for 10 min. After the completion of stirring, 10 μL each of the substrate solution was added into each well, followed by stirring at room temperature with light shielded for one hour. After the completion of reaction, 25 μL each of the detection solution was added to each well, and stood still at room temperature with light shielded for 30 min. After standing sill, fluorescence intensity at 520 nm and 495 nm at the time of irradiation with exciting light of 340 nm was measured by using Analyst GT (Molecular Devices). The phosphorylation of the artificial substrate was quantified by Time-resolved Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET). TR-FRET ratio was calculated by dividing 520 nm fluorescence signal by 495 nm fluorescence signal for each well, and the inhibition rate (%) in the test compound group was calculated based on the following mathematical formula. Inhibition rate (%)=[1−(TR-FRET ratio of test compound group−A)/(B−A)×100  [Math. 1] A: average value of TR-FRET ratios of Blank group B: average value of TR-FRET ratios of medium group

Values of 50% inhibition rate (IC50 values) of the test compound were calculated from the inhibition curve based on the inhibition rate of the test compounds in each concentration.

As a result, in the compounds of the present invention, IC50 values of the compound of, for example, Examples 5, 5(1), 5(6), 17(2), and 23(2) were 0.0022 μM, 0.0056 μM, 0.0043 μM, 0.0044 μM, and 0.0011 μM, respectively.

On the other hand, as comparative compounds, the Axl inhibitory activity of each of the compound of Example 8 described in Patent Literature 1 (Comparative compound A) and the compound 2 of Example 3 described in Patent Literature 3 (Comparative compound B), having the following structures, was measured. In both cases, IC50 value was higher than 10 μM.

Biological Example 2: Measurement of Proliferation Suppression Rate by Using Mouse Pro-B Cell Line (Ba/F3 Axl) Stably Expressing Axl

A 0.1 mmol/L DMSO solution of the test compound was dispensed into a 96-well plate, and a 3-fold dilution series was prepared using DMSO. DMSO solutions of test compounds, having various concentrations, were further 500-fold diluted with a RPMI1640 medium (containing 10% HI-FBS, 1% penicillin) and a diluted solution of the test compound having 500-fold concentration with respect to the final concentration was prepared. In each well of the 96-well plate (BD Biosciences) for measurement, 50 μL of a RPMI medium was added to the Blank group, 50 μL of a RPMI medium containing 0.2% DMSO was added to the medium group, and 50 μL of the diluted solution of the test compound was added to the test compound group, respectively. Ba/F3 Axl was diluted with a medium to have a density of 2×10⁵ cells/mL to prepare a cell suspension. In each well of the 96-well plate for measurement, 50 μL each of the RPMI medium was added to the Blank group, and 50 μL each of the cell suspension to the medium group and the test compound group, respectively, and the groups were stood still at 37° C. at 5% CO₂ for 48 hours. After standing still, Relative Light Unit (RLU) was measured by using CELLTITER-GLO (registered trademark) LUMINESCENT CELL VIABILITY ASSAY (Promega). The measurement was carried out according to the attached instruction. To each well, 100 μL each of light-emitting solution was added. The plate was stirred at room temperature for 3 min and then stool still at room temperature with light shielded for 10 min, and RLU was measured by using Microplate Reader (SpectraMax M5e, Molecular Devices). The average values of RLU of the Blank group and the medium group were respectively calculated, and the proliferation suppression rate of the test compound group was calculated. Proliferation suppression rate (%)={1−(RLU of test compound group−A)/(B−A)}×100  [Math. 2] A: average value of RLU of Blank group B: average value of RLU of medium group

A value of 50% inhibition rate (IC50 value) of the test compound was calculated from the inhibition curve based on the inhibition rate in each concentration of the test compound.

As a result, in the compounds of the present invention, IC50 values of the compounds of, for example, Examples 5, 5(1), 5(6), 17(2), and 23(2) were 0.0007 μM, 0.0008 μM, 0.0078 μM, 0.0012 μM, and 0.0012 μM, respectively.

On the other hand, IC50 values of the comparative compounds A and B, were 0.62 μM and >10 μM, respectively.

Biological Example 3: Evaluation of Kinase Selectivity (In Vitro Test)

Similar to Biological Example 1, values of 50% inhibition rate (IC50 value) with respect to various kinases (KDR, DDR1, FLT4, and ROS) of the test compound were measured. The Axl selective inhibitory activity of the test compound with respect to kinases, for example, KDR, was calculated based on the above-mentioned ratio of the IC50 values. The calculated values are shown in the following Table 1. As the test compound, for the compound of the present invention, the compounds of Examples 5, 5(1), 17(2), and 23(2) were used, and for the comparative compounds, the compound of Example 5 (Comparative compound C) and the compound of Example 92 (Comparative compound D) described in Patent Literature 5, having the following structure, were used.

TABLE 1 KDR [IC50]/Axl [IC50] Example 5 about 900 times Example 5(1) about 1800 times Example 17(2) about 650 times Example 23(2) about 520 times Comparative compound C about 0.2 times Comparative compound D about 28 times

Results showed that the compound of the present invention had Axl selective inhibition effect on KDR as compared with the comparative compounds. KDR is kinase also referred to as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGF Receptor 2). It is known that inhibition of KDR may cause a side effect of increasing blood pressure (Hypertension, vol. 39, p. 1095-1100, 2002). Therefore, it was suggested that the compounds of the present invention were excellent compounds capable of avoiding the side effect, which was a problem in comparative compounds, for example, hypertension. Furthermore, it has been also suggested that the other three types of kinases (DDR1, FLT4, and ROS) might cause side effect to be avoided, from the phenotype of the KO mouse or transgenic mouse. It became apparent that the compound of the present invention has excellent selectivity to such specific kinases and therefore capable of avoiding side effect.

Biological Example 4: Measurement of Inhibitory Activity of Drug-Metabolizing Enzyme (Human CYP2C8 Inhibition Effect)

The reaction was carried out in a 384-well plate. As the positive control substance (CYP2C8: quercetin), a solution, which had been adjusted with DMSO to have 300 times higher concentration than the final concentration (CYP2C8: 22.5 and 225 μmol/L) and been 75-fold diluted with purified water containing 2.7% acetonitrile, was prepared (CYP2C8: 0.3 and 3 μmol/L). The test compounds were prepared to have a concentration of 0.3 and 3 mol/L with DMSO, and then 75-fold diluted with purified water containing 2.7% acetonitrile to be 4 and 40 μmol/L. Then, a reaction mixture solution was prepared by addition of a potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4), magnesium chloride (5 mol/L), substrate (CYP2C8: Luciferin-ME, 150 μmol/L), and E. coli-expressed liver microsome CYP2C8 (Cypex, 30 μmol/L) (the numerical values are final concentrations). The reaction was started by addition of 8 μL of this reaction mixture, 4 μL each of the test compound and the positive control solution which had been prepared as described above, and 4 μL of NADPH production system solution (5.2 mM NADP, 13.2 mM glucose-6-phosphate, 1.6 U/mL glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and incubation was carried out at 37° C. for 30 min. Thereafter, 16 μL of luciferase solution was added to stop the reaction and to allow luciferin to emit light, and the luminescence intensity of the reaction solution was measured. The inhibition rate is a reduction rate (inhibition rate) of the luminescence intensity when compared with the control in which the reaction was carried out by the addition of DMSO in place of the test compound solution. The inhibition rate was calculated from the following mathematical formula. Inhibition rate (%)=100−{(luminescence intensity of test compound−background luminescence intensity)/(luminescence intensity of control−background luminescence intensity)×100}  [Math. 3]

The IC50 value was defined to be <1 μM when the inhibition rate at 1 μmol/L was not less than 50%; and >10 μM when the inhibition rate at 10 μmol/L was not more than 50%. The range between the above-mentioned range (not more than 50% at 1 μmol/L and not less than 50% at 10 μmol/L) was calculated using the following mathematical formula: IC50=(50−b)/a  [Math.4] wherein a and b are the slope and intercept of the linear regression line: y=ax+b that passes through the two points: the concentration and the inhibition rate at 1 μmol/L and the concentration and the inhibition rate at 10 μmol/L.

The IC50 values of the comparative compounds and compounds of the present invention were measured using the measurement method described above.

As a result, the IC50 value of CYP2C8 was 2.6 μM for the comparative compound E (Example 133 described in Patent Literature 4). On the other hand, for the compound of the present invention, the IC50 values of CYP2C8 were >10 μM in the compounds of, for example, Examples 5, 5(1), 17(2), and 23(2). Therefore, it was shown that the compound of the present invention had less CYP inhibition effect with respect to the comparative compound.
